TRYPTICON OR DEATH
>>5293233
>Not Scorponok
And don't give me that
>He had an Botcon exclusive from a shit Energon toy
bullshit, that toy is utter shit.
Scorponok is the obvious choice to go with the new Max.
Not to mention that G1 Scorponok is hilariously undersized compared to Fort Max.
>>5293233
Trypticon for president.
Just got generations rattrap since transformers are 25% off with the target cartwheel app.
Are there any mods for him I need to know about?
>>5293244
>bullshit, that toy is utter shit.
You have no idea of what a shitty toy is, look at the only official update Trypticon has, a repainted legends cybertron scourge.. Go get the energon scorponok or the huge actionmaster, Trypticon is the only choice.
>>5293023
Here you go.
>>5293275
Looks pretty weird from the side.
>>5293233
Anyone who doesn't vote Trypticon should be drug out into the street and shot.
>>5293278
It looks weird either way. Base modes are always so half assed.
>>5293258
>Scorponok and Trypticon both have only shitty updates and deserve new molds over anyone
>Omega Supreme got a recent WfC figure remolded from the decent Energon figure he already has.
>Omega Supreme needs an update the least.
>Omega Supreme will win the poll anyway.
Do we really want a Trypticon right now? given the current climate, won't he end up being a basic and hollow shell?
>>5293280
Yeah, I said in the last thread that I'd like some base's to add to the city bots, but PMP and Blasters simply don't cut it, they look like exploded corpses. It'd need to be a dedicated piece.
Is anybody in need of a Chromia still? I just found two, and I already have one.
>>5293283
>Do we really want a Trypticon right now?
Yes, or did you forget that we had to wait 30 years for a titan Metro, you wan't to wait again? also there's always third party makin panels to hide the hollow bits.
>>5293294
I'm not saying I don't, but I don't see him being anything but a letdown. Third party fixes aren't a valid excuse.
>>5293288
Yep! What's your email?
Titan Wars Dreadwing when
Trypticon has never had a decent toy. Even G1 Skorponok blew G1 trypticon out of the water. We desperately need a new giant decepticon and it has to be Trypticon.
>>5293283
Given how much production time is needed to go from concept to actual toy Hasbro has either a) designed all three already and letting us decide which to release first or b) rigged the poll for the one they are working on or c) do a windblade.
>>5293316
Probably, I'm just thinking that maybe in few years, things will be better and we could get a way better Trypticon? maybe?
>>5293233
Scorponok's probably who I'll vote for (headmaster gimmick and dem colors), but I'd be happy with a new toy of any of them, to be honest.
>>5293315
So Trypticon will always be shit
>>5293348
No, Hasbro is allergic to female dinosaurs.
>>5293348
I won't mind if she turns into a sexy dino lady.
>>5293348
only if it has feathers
Would you be against a Trypticon with a g1-ish looking dino mode, a Nemesis ship flying mode ala WFC, that could land and then turn into the classic city mode? I was never a fan of his "mobile fortress" mode.
>>5293385
That sounds good to me.
>>5293385
This makes me sad that The Nemesis never transformed into Trypticon in Transformers: Prime
>>5293398
Well, he was dead, butThere was that episode when they tried to power The Nemesis with dark energon and It went rogue.
>>5293282
Trypticon was never that great anyway. He was a dinosaur with lasers. His transformed modes were ass, his toy was ass. He just isn't that popular.
Scorponok had a better original figure, but his city mode was ass as well.
Trypticon needs a new figure the most of the two Decepticons, but honestly, he's probably gonna sell like shit. Omega Supreme would probably sell the best of the 3, and I for one would like a CHUG update for him. I'd certainly pick him over Metroplex, Maximus, Tryp, or Scorp, any day of the week if all 4 were presented to me as equally well made toys.
>>5293244
yeah but at least Scorponok HAS an update, you can't even say that for Trypticon.
I have a feeling Omega Supreme will win because fans always like voting for the most boring or season 1/2 shit. But I'm voting Trypticon.
>>5293423
>people like voting for what they liked as a kid
I wonder why. Nostalgia is a powerful tool, and good guys are always more popular than bad guys. Omega will win unless someone vote stuffs, and that will be so fucking obvious when one character suddenly leaps ahead that they'll probably just ignore any vote stuffing and declare Omega the winner anyway, because he is going to win.
>>5293422
>Scoponok was never that great anyway. He was a scorpion with lasers. His transformed modes were ass, his toy was ass. He just isn't that popular.
you can say that about every transformer, its just a matter of opinion.
>>5293432
>Optimus Prime was never that great anyway. He was a truck with lasers. His transformed modes were ass, his toy was ass. He just isn't that popular.
>>5293437
The g1 optimus prime toy was trash desu
they couldn't even figure out how to incorporate fists without partsforming
>>5293423
>Omega Supreme
>boring
Bitch, even his G1 toy is fun as hell. Motorized tank on treads, rocket base, robot that walked!
>>5293443
G1 Seekers. You wanna bitch about partsforming, G1 Seekers, man.
>>5293432
But Scorp's transformed modes weren't ass except city mode. His big robot and his scorpion mode were both well done for their time.
Trypticon can't say the same because of the stupid fucking motorized gimmicks incorporated into him.
Update when?
>>5293460
never because GEEWUNNERS bitch and moan anytime any generations figures come out that isn't an update of their precious G1. We're extremely lucky if we get more then 2 non-G1 generations figures per year
>>5293460
I don't know how you'd even go about making him better, anon, mine's holding up perfectly fine.
>>5293422
If Hasbro just relies on what they have for him, of course he'd sell like shit.
For Trypticon, they'd need to pro-actively promote him by having him stomp through Fort Max or something in a commercial.
>>5293313
They wont be Powermasters anyway.
I'd rather see Trypticon's G1 toy get a US re-release (would work well with the Legend/Cyberverse class) and them re-issuing the Botcon Scorponok (the Energon Scorponok in G1 colors, which SHOULD have been released at retail) with retooling to give it proper scorpion claws and scorpion legs.
>>5293493
So you're going for the boring choice of Omega for the new titan?
>>5293493
>I'd rather see Trypticon's G1 toy get a US re-release
go to Kmart and have $180 on hand. They've been overpricing the hell out of these g1 reissue sets.
>>5293502
>boring choice of Omega
you force this meme harder than /pol/ shoving "based" down everyone's throats.
>>5293514
Literally the first time I wrote that. i'm not forcing any meme, just expressing my opinion.
>>5293367
You should probably go jerk off so you can think clearly.
>>5293313
Generations version is good enough.
>>5293502
I'm gonna agree. Who the fuck wants to keep filling their shelves with Autobots? We've already got Fort Max coming so it's time to swing in favor of a Decepticon again. I got Menasor because the Decepticon side has been shortchanged of anything except main cast characters and I'll be getting Bruticus too largely for that reason. Good guy jingoism is lame.
>>5293514
>Omega Supreme is cooler than a fucking giant purple spaceship fortress dinosaur
Leader Magnus is a fun toy, so this thing should be pretty good too I hope.
>>5293532
I'd rather have something that has a humanoid mode as well than just a dino that turns into a building.
I love dinosaurs, but it would be a boring toy.
>>5293251
Recast half the figure.
>>5293233
>>5293247
>>5293258
>>5293279
Trypticon deserves this one. Why wouldn't kids love it. He's basically Godzilla the Transformer.

>IDW Strafe
>>5293528
This. without bad guys, there are no good guys. they're just a bunch of guys.
for once let their be a Decepticon victory of some kind when fans vote.
>>5293545
Doing something dumb to masturbate over comics that came out 4 years ago with a fodder extra doesn't count as Hasbro.
>>5293251
Does the cartwheel app apply online? or is it just in store.
>>5293549
Just in store. They scan a barcode off your phone.

does not compute
>>5293561
she has one, i've read the issue, she mutates into a two headed monstrosity.
their hasn't been any official art of her and i struggled to find some of her new dino mode but believe me.
>>5293564
Maybe he fears it will have mediocre articulation like the 90% of other non-humanoid toys out there.
>>5293570
This. This This. Dinosaur toys are usually better looking than they are fun. There's that age where they're amazing. Ends pretty early in life.
>>5293570
Problem is unless they take some liberties with it, and by "liberties" I mean "make him more humanoid", it's gonna have shit articulation. It's a t-rex, currently. Which means a tail that usually has no articulation and tends to block the legs unless they angle the legs (which sucks), short useless fucking arms you can't do anything with, and 2 legs you can't do much with.
tl;dr Better hope they make him more humanoid in shape, otherwise he's gonna be pretty shitty.
>>5293535
If only it actually looked that good.
>>5293422
I can't even begin to say what's wrong with this posts.
>My opinion is fact, Trypticon and Scorponok aren't that great!
>Omega will sell more, I know this based off of absolutely nothing other than the meme that bad guys don't sell!
>>5293535
Someone needs to photoshop big gaps in the sides of the forearms and legs.
Surprised this wasn't posted in the last thread. MP Shockwave's transformation.
>>5293613
I can't decide between this guy and Quakewave
>>5293643
IDK to support the brand and encourage the company that has been making things I love for the past 30+ years?
>>5293643
Quakewave is a chunky mess. I don't know why it gets so much praise.
>>5293656
They did do him in gorgeous toy colours though.
>>5293613
no partsforming the barrel pieces at all? I'm actually impressed...
>>5293613
Where can I pre-order him?
>>5293656
Well I like that it has the darker color version now, and it has metallic parts like the original toy, whereas the MP is all plastic
>>5293532
>they can't be equally good
This is why you take penis up the ass.
>>5293535
>forced Godbomber armor on instead of a regular Powermaster Prime
God Ginrai armor was hideous though. They're not giving me an option to ditch my reissue.
>>5293668
Is it parts forming? Or is it storage for the stand with bonus screen accuracy?
MP Hotrod's transformation. Also, for those who keep trying to push the 'Kobayashi is terrible' meme, Hotrod wasn't even designed by him.
>>5293668
Actually I've never purchased anything second hand if it was still available on shelves, why would I?
>>5293678
I'm more concerned about it transforming into a pile of tears and broken dreams like version 1.0 to be honest, family...
>>5293676
That's not even the worse part:
-God Bomber armor that looks worse than the original, instead of having that piece mimic PM Prime's chest
-Head looks weird (may look better in person)
-Those fucking arms
-Non-transforming cab (expected, but still disappointing).
>>5293578
The only thing you need from a T-rex apart from the legs are a somewhat articulated tail and neck.
>>5293689
>Head looks weird
Probably because has a helmet on top of his helmet.
>>5293678
Really? Who did it?
>>5293676
>>5293689
That's not the Godbomber armor, that's a stylized armor homaging his powermaster, I'm pretty sure there are at least 5 third party working on a Godbomber armor ading just "shoes", winged gloves a new chest piece and a backpack.
>>5293313
They wouldn't even be Powermasters so what's the point.
As much as I love that we're getting Headmasters finally, Titan Masters should have been a catch-all for the various Masters sublines.
>>5293716
>Titan Masters should have been a catch-all for the various Masters sublines.
That's what it's suppose to be, so it's pretty weird PM Prime is a Headmaster.
>>5293709
The TFW2005 article doesn't say. Maybe someone who reads moonrunes could tell from the scans: http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/11/20/new-images-masterpiece-shockwave-ironhide-hot-rod-new-generations-book-305739
>>5293720
It is. They are making all "Master" types use the same kind of connections.
So how long until these apear on mass on ebay?
>>5293720
The headmasters are better integrated to their botmode, most powermaster sticked on the back or just hanged on the front, it may not be 100% accurate, but that gimmick isn't reason enough to pass on this update.
>>5293728
>Movie shit
>>5293721
Then don't call him PM Prime, go watch Masterforce and call him by his superior name Ginrai.
>>5293233
Trypticon is the obvious choice here but after getting Devastator it'd be really nice to get an equally big Omega Supreme to pit against him.

When's that third party Leader sized Evasion Prime supposed to come out? I saw pictures of a test shot then it dropped off the map
>>5293723
Making everything a Headmaster isn't exactly what I had in mind.
>>5293728
That kit and aoe prime actually got ko'd recently, so I think the value for these are already declining.

>>5293613
I don't really care about MP's but Shockwave is spot on.
>>5293728
it's ok.

Quit trying to splinter off the conversation into some other direction, you fucking rat.
>>5293613
I've been wondering if the stand/backpack cover can be slid over the but of the gun mode to make it more square, like the G1 toy. I don't mind the way it looks at all, its just nice to have options, especially on an MP.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Those boob windows were the most eye catching part of PM Prime's chest next to Hi-Q.

You don't own leader Magnus right? his thighs and arms are hollow too, but on the back.
>>5293610
Haha!
>>5293735
>liking Bayformers
No taste.
>>5293965
Don't forget, they remolded like 90% of the figure but didn't change the shitty hands that can't actually hold the weapons worth a damn
>>5293984
Or altering the terrible feet that have 3 hinges yet are somehow STILL not articulated. You'd figure there would have been at least one unintentionally happy accident resulting in ankle rockers or SOMETHING.
Leave it to Hasbro to take a dedicated Ultra Magnus figure and turn it into an Optimus Prime toy.
>>5293986
It's kinda funny in an aggravating way.
I think I'm gonna hold off on buying Prime til we see what Japan does with it, at the very least Ginrai colors?
>>5293986
Ha. I didn't even think of that. That's great.
Best part about Magnus was the arm transformation. The worst part about Prime is now his arms, they're hollow unpainted red (unless the non-cgi one is painted) and the cab kibble on his arms look even dumber.
So the orange comes from Action Master but where does the red/burgundy come from?
>>5294011
Sup
I've always had a nostalgia hard-on for PMOP. Had to get the re-issue God Ginrai when it came out so many years ago, will have to get this. Even with this hollow arms and probably a shitty Hasbro paint job

They need to make the grate on Prime smaller, and use that space to make the windows bigger. The grate is waaaay too big and he looks like he's squinting.

Translucent boob armor Strongarm when?

When did Sixshot have a Revolver arm? when was he called Revolver in Japan?
>>5293937
I'm not a whiny little nerdy bitch, so I think he looks alright.
Though I am disappointed that his thighs are more hollow than Magnus'. Magnus' looked better, surely they could have used those?

I fucked up. That's his name in Russia.

You're trolling on 4chan's toy board on a Friday night. Go ahead, tell us another one.
>>5293984
Maybe if you weren't so damn retarded you'd get him to hold the guns. It's not fuckin rocket science, it's completely possible for Magnus to hold his guns

>>5294155
Not sure how chicken tendies have anything to do with Ultra Magnus and his floppy mitten hands. The guns fit in there, yeah, but if the finger hinge doesn't close tightly, there's no friction to hold the gun and he just drops them every time.
They could at least put a peg in the palm or something -- the one time a hollow might actually be welcome..

>Buying japanese transformers from american retailers
Anon what are you doing http://www.hlj.com/product/tyt02266
>>5294262
Seems like you can order up to 2 sets per book. So why not get the set without the book?
I'm surprised BBTS has this available anyway. Japanese Magazine exclusives are annoying to acquire.
>>5294263
You realise that HLJ is only offering the book, not the toys, right?
>>5294263
>>5294278
Yeah, you buy the book, and it includes a coupon to purchase the toys for an additional amount of money. Shipped to Japan addresses only of course.
BBTS has some sort of middleman. They buy one book, order 2 sets of figures, sell them at insane markup, and dumbass fanboys pay it.
Anyone who shells out a hundred bucks for 2 legends class figures is out of their mind.
>>5294280
YEAH BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT COLORS FROM THE ONES I ALREADY HAVE AND THAT MAKES THEM COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOYZ
>>5294280
Would be great if HLJ actually provided middleman service for ordering the toys since they are situated in Japan anyways and don't need to jump through as many hoops as BBTS. Although I doubt HLJ would offer them at non-ridiculous prices either.
At the end of the day, it's really a dick move by takara to have the companion pieces of regular releases as magazine exclusives.

Fucking sweet, when wave 4 limbs got released we only got cyclonus and hotspot voyagers, shame this guy is at regular rrp since other shots are doing $10aud off but whatever, that's another combiner complete, though I must ask, best way to keep hotrod from fucking falling off?
As for RiD arctic camo prime he's the same as before but with more paint apps and tampo prints on legs and forearms, the translucent axe handle and wheels were unexpected though but are a "cool" touch.
Also I'm guessing we already knew this especially if we saw tjomega's review but the unmasked megatronus warrior class sucks ass deco wise, gonna try out TRU next for their masked one...
Wait shit, wouldn't takara do one, I think I'll wait for a takara one

They're just Legends, so they don't matter anyway.
Is MP Bee's backpack supposed to spin around on that center peg or does it tab in somewhere?
>>5294347
The back end of the bug should be facing upwards, and a black peg at the bottom of the backpack will peg into his lower back.
>>5294354
Yeah, that's tabbed in alright. The back shell still has some up/down play in it though, and it spins maybe 15 degrees in either direction.
>>5294357
if you have the back bumper folded down against the back window there shouldn't be much, if any, room for it to move, freely or otherwise.

...Okay. I concede the point: if they make a new, better version of G1 Omega, I'll be all up in that motherfucker. But I'd still vote for Trypticon. There's already two Autobot Titans and they are both bigger than Devastar.
>>5294262

No that would be a GOOD thing if they did.
No I say they beat themselves with metroplex for a few hours.

I pay plenty for quality. But Legends representations of non-Legends sized characters is a huge fail. No thanks.

>>5294426
Classics style stuff. Classic not specifically pertaining to only G1, but robot design in general. Cybertron mostly falls within this category. Just as an example.
>>5294434
Cybertron: you mean 'Galaxy Force'?
>>5294437
Same shit unless you're talking about paint apps or the show.
All the dino talk makes me wonder if they'll ever make RID Skowl. He's really the only character I 'd buy from that line.
>>5294451
Sure, why not. Hasbro can always repaint the triceratops mold from AOE.
Not the same dinosaur but whachagunnado

>>5294466
Great, so we don't get the stunticons and now, we don't even get the repaints of the stunticons.
>>5294480
we're also probably not getting the comabaticon, or at least not the limbs, UK never gets stuff with pack in comics, and no one ever realises we;d buy the withouht the comics
>>5294433
It's Galvatron from the "Cybertron" line, made several years before Thrilling 30 Springer.
And yes, it IS awesome.
>>5294466
Damn...no wonder you guys were so smug about the "First Edition" wave skipping the U.S. This happens a lot there?
>>5294529
he's a big one too.
>>5294451
Spoke to Hasbro about it at NYCC, they said that one-shot cons aren't impossible, but they feel the ones that show up more than once should be priotiy out of sheer mathematics.
In other words, don't count on it when the line is about to be cancelled.
>>5294532
let me put it like this - last year, all the uk got was AOE, and even then everything thas wasn't one battlers and one step changers were TRU exclusives, and even they didn't get voyager hound
>>5294532
We didn't even get wave 2 of CW, so I'm stuck with 4/5 Aerialbots and 1/5 Stunticons. It works out about the same, if not cheaper, to just buy the better UW versions than pay the rape prices American sellers are asking for on eBay.

I love those little fake electrical components behind the chest window
Man, Powermaster op annoys me so much. They got pretty much everything stylistically spot-on, in robot mode, but the incorrect gimmicks make it a no go, No inner-robot, Hi-Q isn't a Powermaster, Base mode is inferior and Optimus can't interact with it.
Fortress Maximus looks barely like the original
, he's too symmetrical and the heads not recessed enough, not grey enough.
>>5294532
We didn't get any of the thirlling thirty outside of the voyagers, I don't think we got all of them as I've never seen Springer, Blitzwing, or Double-dealer.
>>5294576
>We didn't get any of the thirlling thirty outside of the voyagers, I don't think we got all of them as I've never seen Springer, Blitzwing, or Double-dealer.
Check at Toys'R'Us, Wilko's or The Entertainer. I've seen Thrilling 30 Springer, Sandstorm Whirl and Blitzwing quite recently in my local Wilkinsons for about a tenner.
>>5294579
Thanks for the tip.
>>5294614
That head looks better up close.
>>5294620
Yeah I hope the final version looks this good.
>>5294319
The best and pretty much only way to keep hot rod on is but the shapeways adapter.
>>5294344
Ah yes. One of the classic dinosaurs of history. Fuckedupdicus.

What are some decent toys from Armada? I know of Unicron, Tidal Wave, Sideways, Demolishor, and "Bendy Prime". Any others? How are Blurr, Wheeljack, Cyclonus, Thrust, and Overload?
>>5294679
Sideways is only decent if you get him with his minicons. Otherwise he sucks ass.
Also wheeljack is shit. Avoid it. Trust me.
>>5294679
>Blurr
Looks cool but no knees. 80% of altmode becomes his "cape". No Jam
>Wheeljack
Has some articulation but both modes look quite chunky and playskool-ish. No Jam.
>Cyclonus
He's pretty well jointed actually, nice companion-piece to Demolisher. Jam!
>Thrust
Extremely retarded minicon gimmick but nice proportions and articulation. Love how his cone-head is formed. Major issue is NOHANDS but I kinda dig the thruster-arms. Jam!
>Overload
Brick that turns into a nice beefy cannon. No Jam?
For the earlier Armada releases like hotshot, blurr, cyclonus, I recommend getting the Takara version because Hasbro went cheap on the paint apps.
>>5294696
There a literally 2 small differences on the takara hot shot.
>>5294696
>Hasbro went cheap on the paint apps.
Good to see they remain consistent.
>>5294705
2 small differences ruined a toy.
Its as bad as a Kreon without them you know?
A broken g1 toy would be better than missing paint apps!
>>5294711
It didn't ruin a toy. The toy is shit either way.
>>5294705
Recently found out Takara's version also has a red LED in the right fist to light up the Star Saber.
>jacknicholsonasthejoker'whydidn'tsomebodytellmehehadoneofthose...things!'.jpeg
>>5294727
Okay see now that's a real difference. Its just a dumb light, but It is more of a difference than barely noticeable paint apps.
>>5294729
>barely noticeable paint apps.
It's the Autobot/Cybertron symbol. If there's anywhere they shouldn't save on paint apps, it's that.
>>5294730
You can still tell it's the autobot logo either way. One just has a bit more finer detailing.
>>5293251
The tail is bendy. I know it should be a given but I seriously had him for weeks before I realized it.
CAN'T KNOCK THE SCORPONOK!
>>5294734
Yep. Funny enough I have him in hand right now.
I do see these awful stress marks on the legs everyone is talking about. Wish I know how to fix that.
Also poor little guy suffers hard from overengineering.
>>5294721
Still won't save the rest of the figure. That shit is tragic and should've never got passed the drawing board stage.
Scorponok, Trypticon, I don't care as long as we just get a Decepticon Titan for Fort Max to fight.
>>5294738
How many Scorponoks does it take to change a ligtbulb?
Am I the only one that prefers the way the toy for Omega Supreme looked over the cartoon?
>>5294753
What was the difference? All I remember was his new face.
Tryptibros unite!
>>5294770
Don't forgot the chibi trypticon coming out
>>5294770
The scorponok on the far right is trying too hard.
Walmart's selling Devy for about $100 right now if anyone wants CW Dev.
>voting for omega supreme
>>5294770
imo Scorponok > Tripticon, but I'll vote on Tripy.
>>5294770
> Counting Turd Party...
Try again.
>>5294787
Eh, I like Trypticon better, but whatever.
>>5294778
That wouldn't work for a CHUG collection, same reason why titanium figurines aren't included.
>>5294770
3 of those updates are straight up 3rd party stuff, one of which has been in protoype stages for forever now.
Which means that Scorponok, Omega and Trypticon have all had 1 update figure (no matter what scale/ how good or shit the update was) each, with 2 of those updates being retooled for Botcon/ YOTS shit.
You know, except for the hollow firearms this is a pretty solid figure. He's got a fun transformation and good articulation. After some anon posted pics a couple threads ago I had to check TRU for him today. Luckily they had a single one on the very top rack all the way in the back in a messed up package.
>>5294797
I was considering buying him, but I cant find him at all
>>5294797
And with his cannon mode I'd totally buy a purple decoed one with a new head and hand as Shockwave. This'll probably be one of my only RID2015 buys.
>>5294794
The huge actionmaster Scorponok is a licenced figure, why does it matter who made them? also how can you be ok with tiny not-rex Trypticon?
>>5294799
Same here. I'd buy him on the spot if I could.
